College of Science Outreach

The College of Science at Weber State University supports science and math education in the northern Utah community. Our outreach program is geared toward providing resources that make science and math a fun and engaging experience for children of all ages, helping teachers understand and teach science on a more interactive level, and supporting community engagement.

Students can volunteer for the programs listed on this webpage and get volunteer credit. Students track their volunteer hours with the GivePulse platform.
